Abstract

To decrease respiratory infections in senior day care, staff were educated on viral transmission and the value of hand washing. Fanny packs with alcohol foam supplemented hand washing and were alternated monthly between centers. Infection rates were unchanged with alcohol foam use. The intervention year's infection rate was significantly lower than the previous 3 years, suggesting a benefit of education.

摘要

为减少老年日托中心的呼吸道感染，工作人员接受了关于病毒传播和洗手重要性的培训。配备酒精泡沫的腰包辅助洗手，各中心每月交替使用。使用酒精泡沫后感染率没有变化。干预当年的感染率显著低于前三年，表明培训有一定作用。
